House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is hardly seen as an advocate for climate
change policy, but he’s been more open to addressing the issue than many
others in the GOP. And the concessions he made to House conservatives
last week to secure his new role are likely to complicate any future
party-line energy package. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino and Josh Siegel
discuss what’s in store. Plus, a new study concludes that human-driven
climate change contributed to drought in the western United States.
